One house, (at least) two music idols
Do they even call them jukeboxes anymore?
Kayla stepped up to one of those gizmos at a restaurant the other day and scrolled through the music selection. She didn't want to play anything. She just wanted to see what they had. She returned to our table with a self-satisfied grin. 
"They have Chris Brown, but no Jonas Brothers," she said. It's because the Jonas Brothers are lousy, she reasoned.
Lately, Kayla and Paxtynn have been locked in a battle of the fans. Paxtynn, 13, enjoys the Jonas Brothers. Kayla does not share her enthusiasm, which is fine. What irks me is that Kayla cannot seem to allow Paxtynn to enjoy her fandom in peace. Why would anyone like the Jonas Brothers when Chris Brown is so much better? 
Oh, please. Since when do other musical acts have to be bad in order for the one you enjoy to be good?
Could you imagine Billy Joel fans hating on Elton John fans?
"'Daniel' is boring. 'Piano Man' rules."
"'Piano Man'? More like 'Piano Loser.'"
Chris Brown is a fun entertainer. The Jonas Brothers are fun, too. There's room in our house for both their CDs and both their posters. And, dare I say it? It's possible to be a fan of both, kids.
Not me, of course. I mean, why would I be a fan of Chris Brown or the Jonas Brothers when Linda Eder and Lea Salonga are still singing?
Don't know who they are? Why not? What's wrong with you?

Aren't we in a good mood today?
I wasn't making fun of Billy Joel. I was saying that just because you like one artist doesn't mean you have to go hating on others.

I love the Jonas brothers a lot but I am also a fan of Chris brown. I don't see a problem with either of them but I do like Jonas more because Chris brown sings but the Jonas brothers act, sing and look stylish all at the same time...?!
the Jonas brothers are my idols but Chris brown is still very cool as well! :D
